BFD Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Hi folks, Does anyone know the best place to buy an iPod in Bangkok? I want a big hard drive (at least 60gb) and video capability. Any thoughts? Thanks, BFD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prakanong Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Hi folks, Does anyone know the best place to buy an iPod in Bangkok? I want a big hard drive (at least 60gb) and video capability. Any thoughts? Thanks, BFD! Dunno best place to buy but the new ones are 80 and 160 Gig respectively so the size is there for you. I have a full 20 Gig 4th Generaion and am thinking about popping out today in Singapore to get one - they were sold out in Amsterdam duty free yesterday Then again I like the iPod Touch but it would have to double to 32 Gig for me to get it.

Prakanong Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 As a comparison the 80 Gig in the Apple Store in Singapore is circa 9600 THB and the 160 GB is circa 13500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisurely Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 There are a lot of apple shops and I think that they all charge the same price. I got mine at Seri centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iyah Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Panthip Plaza. Got my 30 gig video for 9000 bahts 6 months ago (price tag was 10000 bahts). Don't get it from the Apple store as they won't give you any discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgunn65 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I bought a 30 and a 80 from the Apple store in Seacom Mall. Although they did not give me discount they threw in cases worth 1000. With the VAT refund I ended up paying £184 for the 80 (£259 in the UK at the time) and £140 for the 30 (£199) so a bargain I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcity Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 When you buy something in Singapore, like Ipod / laptop / electronic , do you buy duty-free or get GST / VAT at the airport ? i am looking to get a laptop in 6 months time , and not sure if i will go Australian or Singapore way ! thk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a serious note, for many electrical stuff, the price difference to be had can pay for your trip to Singapore. A thai friend of mine flew down there for a day to buy his laptop. Saved him a ###### fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shops in town should give you the paperwork - Sony Shop in Bugis even offered it to me for earphones last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFD Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Thanks for the advice, folks. I ended up buying one in Pantip, 3rd floor. It's an 80GB video, and I also got one of those little speaker sets with a sub so I can use the iPod as an alarm clock. Total price: ฿10,400. I can't believe I've lasted this long without one of these things! BFD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
